Summary:
The city of Roxboro, North Carolina is home to 12 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population, with many facing socioeconomic challenges as indicated by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.
Among the standout schools in Roxboro are Roxboro Community School, a public charter high school that ranks among the top 75 high schools in North Carolina, and Bethel Hill Charter, a public charter elementary school that ranks among the top 180 elementary schools in the state. These schools consistently outperform the state and district averages in both math and reading proficiency, with over 80% of their students proficient or better in several subject areas.
In contrast, some of the other schools in the area, particularly the middle schools and certain elementary schools, struggle with lower proficiency rates, especially in reading. This suggests a need to address the disparities in academic performance and ensure that all students in the Person County Schools and Roxboro Community School districts have access to high-quality education. Factors such as socioeconomic challenges, resource allocation, and the success of the charter school model in the area may provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes for all students in Roxboro.
